Front

What is an algorithm?

Back

A sequence of instructions on how to solve a problem.

Breaking a complex problem down into smaller problems and solving each one individually.

Back

Decomposition

Front

Picking out the important bits of information from the problem, ignoring the specific details that don't matter.

Back

Abstraction

Front

A logical way of getting from the problem to the solution. If the steps you take to solve a problem follow an algorithm then they can be reused and adapted to solve similar problems in the future. Options: Decomposition, Abstraction, Programming, Algorithmic Thinking
